This time armed with 150 rounds of various handloads and a full magazine of factory reloaded hollow points from a few years ago. Plated and FMJ 125 gr. RN.
One nosedive on the first magazine with hollow points. The next 145 rounds all fired perfectly with any powder I experimented with. Bullseye being the best. All rounds were chambered using the slingshot method. I am too old to try and learn another way to chamber a round from a fresh magazine.

This is one fun firearm to fire. At 10 yds it is deadly accurate and relatively easy to control in rapid fire mode. I am lovin it.

BTW. I added a pair of Pearce grip extensions on my short magazines and they really help. I see no difference in the concealability of the handgun. They will remain on for good.

Awesome run. I've had my PM9 for about a year and it had a few failures to feed in the first 10 rounds or so, but after the requisite 200 round break-in, it's been great. Since then and about 500 rounds later, the only failure was user-error in not seating the mag all the way while practicing quick reloads.

+1 on the pearce grip extensions. Both my MK and PM9 have them and they fit my grip very comfortably.

Also my PM9 has never malfunctioned once, break in included. It's the last gun in my possession that I would get rid of. Kahr got it right with this one!
